I'm really fedup with this program now. I can't calibrate it correctly and if somebody else could I'd be really grateful!
Basically, this program measures how far you move the mouse in one session in miles, kilometres, cm and inches. It also counts how many times you press the buttons. To display the results, either type *Mileage or shut the machine down.
Inside the application, as well as the module & source code, there are two programs: Calibrate & Test. The former lets you calibrate the program as it is pretty inaccurate when measuring cm & inches and the latter gives a constant mileage report to test the program with.
Known problem: The program doesn't measure inches & cm properly. I'm bored with doing it myself so can somebody else send me some values which work properly please? This could be due to the calibration program. The program works out these measurements by dividing the no. of pixels moved by a fixed value. It is this value that I can't get right. Answers on a postcard please to...
